For The Wolf of Wall Street, his latest collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese forewent his signature voiceover style in favor of more direct address: Throughout the movie, DiCaprio, playing the lupine financial huckster Jordan Belfort, looks into the camera and speaks right to the audience. Terence Winter, who wrote the screenplay, explains the use of the technique thusly: "You are being sold the Jordan Belfort story by Jordan Belfort, and he is a very unreliable narrator."
It's important to keep that in mind if you decide to dig into the fact and fiction of the film. The Wolf of Wall Street is quite faithful to the book by Belfort that it's based on—though there are differences; the key ones are enumerated below. But how faithful is that book to reality?
It can be hard to tell, especially since some of its more outlandish tales turn out to be true. Nonetheless, below is an attempt to suss out the true-to-life from the merely true-to-Belfort in the film version of his story.
Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio)
The broad outlines of Belfort's story are faithfully rendered by the film: A talented but struggling salesman from Long Island, he got a job at venerable investment firm L.F. Rothschild, then was laid off after Black Monday. He went to work at Investors Center, a penny stock house, and a year later opened "a franchise of Stratton Securities, a minor league broker-dealer," in "a friend's car dealership in Queens." He and his partner earned enough to buy out Stratton and form Stratton Oakmont, which he built into one of the largest over-the-counter brokerage firms in the country. (As in the movie, he hired some old friends.) He did an enormous amount of drugs—including, yes, Lemmon 714s—employed the services of countless prostitutes, and eventually went to prison for the pump-and-dump schemes that made him rich.
Much of DiCaprio's dialogue comes straight from Belfort's book, as do nearly all of the hard-to-believe misadventures: landing the helicopter on his lawn while stoned, crashing his car while severely high on Quaaludes, insisting that the captain of his massive yacht sail through choppy waters only to have the boat capsize and then get rescued by the Italian navy. Some of these stories are difficult to verify, but, for what it's worth, the FBI agent who investigated Belfort told the New York Times, "I tracked this guy for ten years, and everything he wrote is true." (Even the yacht story checks out.) As for the much discussed tossing of little people, shown at the beginning of the movie: Belfort's second-in-command says "we never abused [or threw] the midgets in the office; we were friendly to them." That same former exec says there were never any animals in the office, let alone a chimpanzee, and he says that no one called Belfort "the Wolf." We know, at least, that the nickname was not coined by a Forbes writer. But, for the most part, it's Belfort's word against his.
As far as I can tell, Belfort is not a particular advocate of "sell me this pen," a bit of sales interview role-playing that has been around for years. Another minor but notable difference between movie and reality: Belfort, unlike DiCaprio, is a short man, and multiple acquaintances have suggested that his lust for money, power, and attention are evidence of a Napoleon complex. As for the fidelity of DiCaprio's portrayal otherwise, there are many videos of Belfort you can watch online, including one or two of Stratton Oakmont company parties.
Danny Porush/Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill)
The case of Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill) is more complicated. For one thing, Azoff is a fictional name, and the character is sometimes described as a composite. His story closely matches that of Danny Porush—but Porush himself has disputed some of the details. Here are the basic facts: Porush lived in Belfort's building, and he went to work as a trainee under Belfort before Stratton Oakmont. As History vs. Hollywood notes, he did not meet Belfort in a restaurant; they were introduced by Porush's wife (and yes, she was his cousin; they have since divorced). He has admitted to eating a live goldfish that belonged to a Stratton employee, as depicted in the memoir and the movie, but denies the three-way with Belfort and a teenaged employee.
Porush was indeed a childhood friend of Steve Madden's, and the initial public offering for that women's shoe company was the biggest bit of business Stratton Oakmont ever did. Madden, like Porush and Belfort, served time in prison for participating in the Stratton scheme.
Nadine/Naomi (Margot Robbie)
The names of Belfort's wives were also changed for the film. Belfort divorced Denise Lombardo, called Teresa in the movie, after meeting Nadine Caridi at a Stratton Oakmont party. Caridi, called Naomi and played by Margot Robbie, was a model who had appeared in beer commercials; in the book, Befort calls her "the Miller Lite girl." (You can see one of her ads below.) In both the book and the movie Belfort calls her the Duchess of Bay Ridge (or just the Duchess, for short), because she was born in England but grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. She really did have an English aunt (named Patricia, not Emma) who smuggled money into Switzerland on Belfort's behalf, and who died while Belfort's money was still in Swiss banks. (Belfort also had a drug-dealing friend with Swiss in-laws who did much of the smuggling—and that friend was later arrested after a botched money hand-off with Porush, just as we see in the movie.)
The scene in which Naomi spreads her legs open and tells Jordan he won't be getting sex any time soon, only to learn that she is in full view of a security camera, is taken right from the book—as is the fight in which she throws water at her husband repeatedly. Belfort acknowledges hitting his wife in the memoir; he says he kicked her down the stairs. He also threatened to take their daughter away, putting her in the car with him and then crashing it into a pillar on their property. He was high.
Belfort and Caridi have since divorced.
Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey)
The L.F. Rothschild trader who takes Jordan to lunch and tells him that cocaine and masturbation are the keys to success as a stockbroker is based on a real person whose name is not changed in the movie or the book. Mark Hanna has told his own version of the story on YouTube, and he does not seem to dispute the substance of Belfort's account. (The lunch scene in the film combines two conversations from the memoir, using nearly identical dialogue.) Hanna himself was later convicted of stock fraud. He did not pound his chest and hum rhythmically, as McConaughey does so memorably in the movie; that flourish is based on an acting exercise that McConaughey likes to do, and was, according to the movie's press notes, incorporated into the film after DiCaprio and Scorsese noticed the actor doing it on set.
Special Agent Gregory Coleman/Patrick Denham (Kyle Chandler)
Patrick Denham is another made-up name, but there really was an FBI agent who followed Belfort closely for years: Gregory Coleman. He told CNBC in 2007 that he was struck by the "blatantness" of Belfort's financial crimes. As far as I can tell, they did not meet on Belfort's yacht, as the movie suggests; in the book, Belfort first meets Coleman when the FBI arrives to arrest Belfort at his home. (The arrest did not take place while Belfort filmed an infomercial—that's a bit of poetic license on Scorsese's part.)
The Aftermath
After his arrest and indictment, Belfort cooperated with the FBI. In the film, Jordan, while wearing a wire, passes a note to Donnie telling him not to incriminate himself. Belfort did not pass such a note to Porush, but, in his second book, Catching the Wolf of Wall Street, he claims to have done just this for his friend Dave Beall. He ultimately served 22 months in prison and was ordered to pay over $100 million in restitution to his victims (which he has apparently failed to do). As the film depicts, he became a motivational speaker after leaving prison; at the seminar in the movie, DiCaprio as Jordan is introduced by the real Jordan Belfort (and, in real life, the actor has filmed a testimonial for Belfort). Belfort is not the only real-life participant to show up in the movie: A private investigator that Belfort employed, Richard "Bo" Dietl, is also in the film; he plays himself.

APPLEBAUM, MARK: Sock Monkey
The worst thing about this CD is its title. The pieces themselves are varied, extremely well executed, beautifully recorded and of a consistently high standard. MA is a youngish (41) American composer who mixes traditional and electronic resources intelligently, so these are consequent works -though not without humour - and imaginative. There are 10 compositions, for all manner of different instrumentations, usually but not always including live electronics, ranging from small mixed ensembles, through percussion trio, 8 prepared pianos and solo trumpet to full orchestra. Particularly fine are Variations on variations on a theme by Mozart (18 prepared pianos), and Magnetic North. Highly entertaining.

Carmelo Anthony scores 45, Jason Kidd drains key 3 in Knicks' win
NEW YORK -- Now, this Knicks-Nets rivalry is really on.
If it hadn't started when the Nets left New Jersey and set up shop in the Knicks' city, it surely arrived when Jason Kidd delivered the tiebreaking 3-pointer Tuesday night, making himself an enemy of his former franchise.
"I hate him," Nets guard Deron Williams said.
Williams was kidding; the point guards are friends. But Nets fans who watched Kidd ask out of the organization and Carmelo Anthony refuse to come could easily work up more dislike of the Knicks after watching those two Tuesday.
Anthony scored a season-high 45 points, Kidd made the tiebreaking shot with 24 seconds left, and the Knicks rallied from an early 17-point hole to beat Brooklyn 100-97.
Kidd finished with 18 points against his former team, who used to dominate the Knicks when he played in New Jersey. He pumped his fist afterward in what he said was as much emotion as he shows, though denied taking any special pleasure in beating the Nets.
"I'm a competitor. I want to win," he said.
Now the series is tied at 1-1 since the Nets moved to Brooklyn, both games coming down to the tense final minutes.
"It is (a rivalry). I mean, after that first game, we might as well accept that," Anthony said. "It is what it is. They're on our division, we see them four times a year. It is a rivalry. It's great for New York to have that in Brooklyn and in Manhattan. When we come here it's a battle. When they come there, it's going to be a battle. We expect that."
Andray Blatche scored 23 points in place of Brook Lopez, who missed his sixth straight game with a sprained right foot. Williams added 18 points and 10 assists, and Reggie Evans grabbed 18 rebounds, but the Nets lost their fifth straight.
Gerald Wallace scored 17 points, but both he and Williams missed potential tying 3-pointers on the last possession after Kidd broke a 97-all tie with his 3-pointer from the left side while being fouled by Jerry Stackhouse.
Kidd missed the free throw in an otherwise terrific effort for the 39-year-old point guard who helped carry the Knicks while fellow point guard Raymond Felton was struggling through a 3-for-12 night. Kidd had six rebounds and six assists, playing 38 minutes.
There were wild swings in momentum and crowd support in the second half, once the Knicks had gotten themselves untracked after the Nets threatened to run them off the floor in the first quarter.
The crowd was loud and energetic, the players and fans eventually matching the playoff-like intensity from the first meeting, a 96-89 Nets victory in overtime here on Nov. 26. That had left both teams tied atop the Atlantic Division at 9-4, but the Knicks have since gone 7-1 to surge to the top of the Eastern Conference, while Brooklyn has gone 2-5.
It occasionally felt like a Knicks home game, with "MVP! MVP!" chants for Anthony -- which the Knicks think he deserves -- and a black-and-orange dressed Spike Lee sitting courtside and yelling at the referees.
"He's had some pretty good games under my tutelage but I just think tonight he wanted it so badly, man," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "He made shot after shot."
The Brooklyn native never wanted to play in New Jersey, preferring instead a trade to the Knicks, and Kidd eventually wanted out after leading the Nets to two NBA Finals but never the local popularity of the Knicks.
But despite their efforts, the Nets had plenty of chances to send their fans home happy.
"This was a winnable game," Nets coach Avery Johnson said, "but we just couldn't quite close it."
The Nets scored the first five points, gave up a 3-pointer to Kidd, then outscored the Knicks 16-2 over the next five-plus minutes to open a 21-5 lead on Blatche's layup with 4:29 left in the first quarter. Brooklyn hit nine of its first 11 shots, led by as much as 17 and was ahead 30-16 going to the second. Blatche had 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting in eight minutes.
The Nets still led by 16 with 4:49 remaining in the half, but Anthony nailed a jumper and 3-pointer, triggering an 18-6 run to end the half that he capped with a layup with 1.8 seconds left, bringing the Knicks within 53-49 as they headed to the locker room.
The Knicks scored the first five points of the second half to take their first lead, but Williams quickly put the Nets back ahead and Blatche helped them stay there. Brooklyn was back up by nine late in the third quarter before settling for a 79-74 lead.
Brooklyn held the lead until Kidd tied it a 91 on a 3-pointer with 4:01 to play. The Nets lost a potential go-ahead basket when Blatche's tip in was ruled an offensive violation, and Anthony tipped in his own miss to give New York a 93-91 edge with 2:47 to play.
The Nets tied it again at 95 when Wallace -- who just moments before had banged knees hard with J.R. Smith and could barely stand -- tipped in a miss. Two free throws by Anthony followed by Joe Johnson's basket set the stage for Kidd's go-ahead shot.
Game notesAt a ceremony Tuesday afternoon, a flagpole from Ebbets Field was dedicated outside Barclays Center. Sharon Robinson, daughter of Dodgers Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, took part in the ceremony, as did Stackhouse, who wears Robinson's No. 42. The flagpole had been donated to a local VFW post after the stadium was demolished in 1960 and remained at that site until Nets part-owner Bruce Ratner, the Barclays Center developer, obtained it in 2007 with the plan of bringing it here. "I think that's a beautiful connection to Ebbets Field," Robinson said. "To imagine this flying over Ebbets Field and that the Brooklyn Dodgers being so much part of that history, to have this plaque will remind them that the Brooklyn Dodgers were here and made such a difference in the community and now we have the Brooklyn Nets." ... The Knicks play their next six games at home starting Thursday against the Lakers. They host the Nets on Dec. 19 and don't go back on the road until opening a three-game trip against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Christmas.

Just took a flight from Madras, India to Burundi. This guy sitting next to me was smelling like rotten onions. I asked him where he was from. He muttered Bangalore, India. I apologized politely to him and told him that I was nauseous due to his BO. That I will call flight attendant to move to another seat. I did so but none were available. Halfway through the flight he opens up a tupperware. It had some kind of fish curry. The smell coupled with his BO did me in. B'fore I could get up I started throwing up all over including into his curry. I was sick. The doctor on the flight helped me move to the toilet. Thank you. I was later told that guy from India kept on eating his curry and licking his fingers in sheer joyful ecstasy. More power to him. I have landed at Burundi Aerodrome and am still sick from the odor.
I was on a plane. Then Jerry Hank sat down next to me. Well he smelled like pig sh it. Yuk. I had to vomit

"Employees must wash your hands" say little token signs in restrooms laughed at by workers. No wonder the fist bump has replaced the handshake in the USA. Ya'll know the other one has shat on his/her fingers.
Filthy fat lazy mother freaking Americans.
People from Colorado and Pakistan eat dog SH IT and 1 in 17 don't even wash their hands before they eat.
Ewwww. Indians are dirty.
Filthy lazy Coloradans and Pakis.
American dogs even eat cat poop now.
Ewww Pakis are dirtier and dirtiest.
30 million deadbeat dads. They can't all be wrong?
,6:27 troll su cks Modi's Hindu di ck.
6:29 troll su cks monkey di cks
Racist mother freaking Americans with 43% unemployment rates among young black men.
Bunch of freaking bigots.
Americans prefer illegal brown workers over legal black ones 2:1.
What ??
30 million dead beat dads fu ck you and banasy???
According to the DoJ Americans raip over 500,000 men women and children each year. (Not counting war crimes)
Brownies are cheaper.
$4.00 hour
$9.00 hour
The average US adult is visibly obese now. BMI calculations are no longer needed it's that obvious.
Ra pe??
Mmm. Sounds fun. Where u at Philip.
Banasy wants a three-some.
U, me, and she.
Millions of lazy American men could work as do mentally retarded people. But instead claim to be "disabled" somehow and never able to work again. LIARS! And what DHS forced labor camps are for.
Days Inn. Tonight 8:00 p.m. sharp. U know which one.
Be there or be square. I can't handle banasy alone. Too much woman. Real s.l.u.T.
2.) Under or unemployed
3.) Deep in debt
4.) Ignorant of issues
5.) Drug addict
6.) Fornicator carrying extra condoms
7.) Voted for a German and then a Kenyan
8.) Admires Billy Clinton for banging fat Monica on the oval office desk and would vote for him again.
9.) Failed to notice Hillary packing on the pounds after Bill got caught banging a fat intern.
10) thinks that Philip is delusional.
Yes. Americans are truly and mostly fat non-productive citizens now. Over half live off the other half now. Like a dragon eating its own tail Americans are. And tails chopped-off by former gang bangers called "Christian troops" now.
@ Philip. Psst. Hey dude. U don't need a period AND a parentheses. Just one or the other..blockhead.
The world according to Philip. Lol. Caca
Yes. Hillary thought Bill preferred fat chicks and so became obese herself. Still hasn't figured out that Bill likes any chick not named Hillary.
Well what can I say. He is my boyfriend.
Blue Saffron focuses on Phil and Modi. Not on America.
One thing Bill Clinton is not is that he isn't bisezual like GW Bush. Got to give him props for not going the gay way.
There are actual YouTube videos with the sounds of GW Bush and John Kerry "making love" while being university students and members of Skull and Bones secret society.
Bill Clintin did not do that. Props.
Bill Clinton will one day be King of The New World Order. You heard it here first. Apologize to me after it happens.

Yesterday, the National Snow and Ice Data Center announced that the Arctic melt season was probably over. This year's melt had already set records back in August, so the only real question was just how low it would go. Assuming there's not a downward fluctuation during the next couple of weeks, the answer is 3.41 million square kilometers, or about half of the typical low point observed from 1980-2000. That's about 750,000 square kilometers below the previous low (set in 2007), an area roughly equivalent to that occupied by Texas.
In fact, as the NSIDC notes, every year since 2007 has seen unusually strong summer melts: "The six lowest seasonal minimum ice extents in the satellite record have all occurred in the last six years." Although weather has undoubtably played a role in making this year's melt unusually severe, the strong tendency toward record amounts of open water in the Arctic Ocean seems to lend credence to the ideas of Cornell professor Charles H. Greene, who has referred to recent trends as signs that we've entered what he called an "Arctic warm period."
One of the surprising aspects of all of this is that it's happening much faster than most climate models have predicted. Many of them had been indicating the ice would be relatively stable for most of the current century.
This is even more surprising considering that the models appear to get the Antarctic, where sea ice is expanding, largely right. A 2010 study used climate models to track the impact of warming waters in the Southern Ocean. It found that the warming produced increased snow, which contributed to keeping existing ice cold and added to the glaciers that feed floating ice sheets. It also created a layer of fresh water that stays on the surface, insulating the ice from warmer ocean waters below. The result is an ice sheet that is growing despite the warming climate. These models do suggest that a turning point is likely to be reached by mid-century under most emissions scenarios, as more of the moisture will start falling as rain.
It may be tempting to dismiss these projections, given that the Arctic is melting so much faster than predicted. But the two poles have radically different behavior, at least in part due to the fact that one is an ocean that is largely surrounded by land, while the other is a continent surrounded by ocean. As a result, the models have to contend with very different things in each location, and they may handle some of these much better than others.

We've just begun the longest day of 2012, Election Day, and we've already been delivered the first signs of Democrat life: vote fraud allegations.
From Nevada, a Union knowingly registering illegals and then threatening them to force them to illegally vote.
ALIPAC, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, based in Raleigh, N.C., sent the Nevada secretary of state an email outlining its intention.
"We want to stop the felonious thefts of American elections," says William Gheen, ALIPAC's president.
Gheen points to a commentary published in Sunday's Las Vegas Review Journal. In it, editorial writer Glenn Cook accuses the Culinary Union 226 of knowingly registering illegal immigrants and then pressured them to vote.
Cook quotes an unidentified illegal immigrant who is on the Clark County voter rolls. The person claims a union representative told them they were "in so much trouble" for refusing to vote.
From Oregon, apparently an election worker completed a few incomplete ballots, by helping those incomplete ballots vote Republican.
Fox 12 in Oregon reports that Deanna Swenson, who was working part-time in Clackamas County, allegedly voted for Republican candidates on two ballots where voters had left sections blank. County commissioners reportedly claimed they saw her fill in the blanks on Oct. 31.
Oregon is the only state in the nation that does its elections entirely by mail. No possibility for fraud there, right? In fact, that system is a fertile feeding ground for anyone wanting to commit mass vote fraud.
From Pennsylvania, Democrat election officials boot out Republican election officials in Democrat fraud and intimidation heavy Philadelphia. A judge orders the Republicans' reinstatement.
A Pennsylvania judge is issuing an order to reinstate Republican election officials across Philadelphia who allegedly were ejected or refused entry by on-site Democratic voting chief judges, GOP officials tell Fox News.
One Republican official claimed that "just under 70" Republican election officials were blocked from Philadelphia polling sites Tuesday morning by Democrats on site. One of them, the official claimed, "was shoved out of the polling place."
"For this many inspectors to be ejected from polling places is rare, even for Philadelphia," the official told FoxNews.com
More Pennsylvania news that needs to be seen and actively corrected. From the Fox News.com front page (which is, obviously, constantly changing):
Look at a major part of the reason public schools are failing. They're too busy trying to indoctrinate your children into being mind-numbed radical Leftist automatons. But aside from that, it is illegal to promote a candidate or ballot measure within a specific distance of the polling place itself. And this mural pushing Obama is inside the polling place itself. Note the voting machine set up right beside the Obama face and quote. Update: A judge ordered the Election Law violating mural covered, and the Democrat election officials did a urine-poor job of it.
From Michigan, illegal electioneering, assault of a citizen, assault of a police officer.
REPORT: A woman in a Detroit polling location was aggressively campaigning for Obama. A female voter in line objected. The Obama supporter punched the woman in the face.
Police came to arrest her and she smacked the cop.
From New York (via Nice Deb): A New York City poll worker tries to force a voter to fill in every blank on the ballot, straight-line Democrat all the way, and declares the ballot would be rejected if any of the lines were left blank. The Republican US Senate candidate strongly obects. Republican US Senate candidate Wendy Long's letter:
"This morning when I went to vote, a poll worker who was at the scanner, studied my private ballot and proceeded to tell me that it was rejected because I did not 'fill in every space.' She then proceeded to indicate that I should mark the Democratic line all the way down.
The poll worker said, 'you have to fill in all of THESE, all the way down," indicating the whole line at the far left of the ballot, saying 'you can't leave any blank.'"
I said, "I'm sorry, but that just can't be the case …. that would force me to vote for people I don't want to vote for." She insisted again, that every office had to be filled out or the ballot would be rejected. And I said again "I don't want to vote for those people!"
I protested again and said that I wanted to feed my ballot into the scanner as I had filled it out. She eventually relented saying 'well you can TRY it' — meaning she would allow me to put it in the scanner.
It obviously worked.
I had just remarked to all the poll workers, before I filled in my ballot, that we were all very fortunate to have heat and water and electricity.
It is heartbreaking, especially in these trying times for New York City with thousands of voters displaced from their homes and their polling locations, that poll workers would behave in this way, and through intent or ignorance, work to distort the outcome of an election and violate an individual's right to vote for whomever he or she chooses.
I urge all voters to know your rights when you vote.
You can ask for help in how to operate the scanner, but your ballot is private and cannot and should not be inspected.
You do not have to vote in every office, or fill in every oval. Vote only for the candidates whom YOU want to vote for.
Finally, question authority – poll workers are there to help you to vote, not to tell you how vote. If one crosses the line, contact the Attorney General's Office or your local Board of Elections."
In North Carolina, electioneering by a Democrat election official?
Sharpe said he watched as the worker showed the woman where the Obama button was – along with all the other Democrats on the ticket.
"She was pushing the buttons he told her to push," Sharpe said. "This is pretty shady."
When it was his turn to vote, the poll worker did the same thing, he said.
"I went up there to vote and he came over and set up the machine for me," Sharpe said. "He said, 'If you want to vote straight Democratic ticket mash this button.'"
In Virginia, vote fraud? Former National Republican Congressional Committee Digital Director tries to vote in person in Alexandria and is informed he'd already voted.

An AC360 exclusive: A former leader at a Christian school accused of paddling students in the name of God. Now as adults, those former students are speaking out.

Wow this story is produced with CLEAR bias. I was spanked (it not beating) as child my parents my grandparents and so on. All very loving giving examples of human beings,and all very successfull. DI you not find those who profited from this, i could produce a story explaining the benefits and find more who were help thrue LOVING corperal punishment.
Is our sociaty more selfless now than in past are teens more respectfull is our sociaty better of since Dr spock. i think not!!!!!
My entire school life I was in schools that paddled and I got plenty of them. I am not religious at all. But there is a place for this. Its called consequences. If you screw up as an adult you face these and they are very real. We are raising a wimpy future for ourselves folks, look at what our politicians think they should get away with... And DO!!. One of the biggest problems with grades and conduct in schools today is this attitude. I am grateful for the way I was bought up. I learned hard, stern embarrassing lessons in school and they prepared me for my life. I paddle my kids when they step out of line enough that I have to get their attention. "Time out" has its place but is used way too often. It is simply a joke and actually stealing a lesson from your kid. The punishment should always "fit the crime". Use it when its called for. Set barriers/boundaries. They will love you for it later and appreciate it in life.
Good luck America.
There was so much not NOT included in this interview. So much more happened to Doug that they were blocked from showing and there was more than just spanking going on there, The emotional and verbal abuse and alienated of certain children and lack of love and compassion is more than most could fathom. Thank you to Gary and his crew for bringing the story to the surface and we pray the WHOLE truth does come out eventually, Lawyers can only block the truth for so long.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Ueli Steck Attacked on Everest
On April 27, Ueli Steck, Simone Moro, and Jonathan Griffith were allegedly involved in a violent altercation near Camp 2 on Mount Everest.
On April 27, Ueli Steck, Simone Moro and Jonathan Griffith were allegedly involved in a violent altercation at Camp 2 on Mount Everest. The Himalayan Times reports that Moro, Steck and Griffith were "thrashed" by workers associated with Expedition Operators' Association, who were involved with the expedition through Cho-Oyu Treks–a Kathmandu-based operation. The dispute apparently arose over fixing ropes above Camp 2 on Everest. A press release on Simon Moro's website explains that the Sherpas were working on fixing ropes above Camp 2 and asked that they not be disturbed. The climbers complied, according to the report, and climbed 164 feet away from the Sherpas. Eventually, however, Steck, Griffith and Moro had to cross the fixed lines above some of the Sherpas to reach their tent and this is where the argument between the climbers and Sherpas is said to have begun.
According to the translated report, the leader of the Sherpas became angry with the climbers, and accused them of knocking ice onto the Sherpas. The report maintains that Steck tried to appease the leader by offering to help the Sherpas fix ropes, but the leader declined and instead ordered the 17 workers to descend to Camp 2. The report then states that after Steck, Griffith and Moro descended to Camp 2, "about 100 gathered Sherpa attacked them." Stones were allegedly thrown at the climbers. Other Westerners at Camp 2 were able to break up the altercation, but death threats by the Sherpas were also made, according to the press release. The alpinists eventually escaped to the relative safety of base camp.
According to the Himalayan Times, Moro and Griffith sustained minor injuries during the altercation, but Steck has reportedly suffered a large cut on his face. The three climbers are allegedly back in base camp and are hoping to resolve the issue. Nimanuru Sherpa, managing director of the Cho-Oyu Treks, is quoted in the Himalayan Times, stating: "This incident has saddened me as it will tarnish Nepal's image in the world."
The Swiss speed-climber Ueli Steck had teamed up with Italian alpinist Simone Moro, and British photographer/filmaker and climber Jonathan Griffith for an oxygen-less ascent of Everest via a new route. The government of Nepal now has an investigation underway regarding the altercation involving the members of the NO2 Limits Expedition 2013.

From "The Illustrated London News", issue no. 2074 , March 15th 1879. which I purchased many years aglo in London. This the wedding dresss of Louise Margaret Alexandra Victoria, third daughter of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia who married Queen Victoria's third son Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert, Duke of Connaught.
Sarah's sister Beatrice married Jack Clarke in 1919. I feel the significance of the date after the First World War is not lost in this photograph where there is a air of informality (shorter skirt, trilby hat etc.), compared with the opulence of Sarah's dress above. Another photograph from my cousin Stuart.
"Gowned in delphinium blue" was the description of this dress worn by my mother's cousin Annie Danson who married Harry Ditchfield in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire with the local newspaper giving a fulsome account of the dress. "The sleeveless bodice being plain, while the circular skirt was side slashed and bordered all round with deep silver lace. Her hat was ruched georgette to tone and she wore silver shoes and hose to tone. Her bouquet was of pale pink chrysanthemums."

Do you remember your baby's very first cry? From the moment of birth, babies begin to communicate.
At first, your newborn's cries may seem like a foreign language. But before you know it, you'll learn your baby's "language" and be able to answer your little one's needs.
Babies are born with the ability to cry, which is how they communicate for a while. Your baby's cries generally tell you that something is wrong: an empty belly, a wet bottom, cold feet, being tired, or a need to be held and cuddled, etc.
Soon you'll be able to recognize which need your baby is expressing and respond accordingly. In fact, sometimes what a baby needs can be identified by the type of cry � for example, the "I'm hungry" cry may be short and low-pitched, while "I'm upset" may sound choppy.
Your baby may also cry when overwhelmed by all of the sights and sounds of the world, or for no apparent reason at all. Don't be too upset when your baby cries and you aren't able to console him or her immediately: crying is one way babies shut out stimuli when they're overloaded.
Crying is a baby's main method of communication, but they're also capable of other, more subtle forms. Learning to recognize them is rewarding and can strengthen your bond with your baby.
A newborn can differentiate between the sound of a human voice and other sounds. Try to pay attention to how your little one responds to your voice, which he or she already associates with care: food, warmth, touch.
If your baby is crying in the bassinet, see how quickly your approaching voice quiets him or her. See how closely your baby listens when you talk in loving tones. Your baby may not yet coordinate looking and listening, but even when staring into the distance, he or she will be paying close attention to your voice as you speak. Your baby may subtly adjust body position or facial expression, or even move the arms and legs in time with your speech.
Sometime during your newborn's first month, you may get a glimpse of a first smile � a welcome addition to your baby's communication skills!
What Should I Do?
As soon as you hold your baby after birth, you'll begin to communicate with each other by exchanging your first glances, sounds, and touches. Babies quickly learn about the world through their senses.
As the days after birth pass, your newborn will become accustomed to seeing you and will begin to focus on your face. The senses of touch and hearing are especially important, though.
Your baby will be curious about noises, but none more so than the spoken voice. Talk to your baby whenever you have the chance. Even though your baby doesn't understand what you're saying, your calm, reassuring voice conveys safety. With almost every touch your newborn is learning about life, so provide lots of tender kisses, and your little one will find the world a soothing place.
Communicating with newborns is a matter of meeting their needs. Always respond to your newborn's cries � babies cannot be spoiled with too much attention. Indeed, prompt responses to babies' cries lets them know that they're important and worthy of attention.
There will probably be times when you have met all needs, yet your infant continues to cry. Don't despair � your baby may be overstimulated, have too much energy, or just need a good cry for no apparent reason.
It's common for babies to have a fussy period about the same time every day, generally between early evening and midnight. Though all newborns cry and show some fussiness, when an infant who is otherwise healthy cries for more than 3 hours per day, more than 3 days per week for at least 3 weeks, it is a condition known as colic. This can be upsetting, but the good news is that it's short-lived � most babies outgrow it at around 3 months of age.
You can try to soothe your baby. Some are comforted by motion, such as rocking or being walked back and forth across the room, while others respond to sounds, like soft music or the hum of a vacuum cleaner. It may take some time to find out what best comforts your baby during these stressful periods.
Should I Be Concerned?
Talk to your doctor if your baby seems to cry for an unusual length of time, if the cries sound odd to you, or if the crying is associated with decreased activity, poor feeding, or unusual breathing or movements. Your doctor will be able to reassure you or look for a medical reason for your baby's distress. Chances are there is nothing wrong, and knowing this can help you relax and stay calm when your baby is upset.
Here are some other reasons for prolonged crying:
The baby is ill. A baby who cries more when being held or rocked may be sick. Call your doctor, especially if the baby has a temperature of 100.4�F (38�C) or more.
The baby has an eye irritation. A scratched cornea or "foreign body" in a baby's eye can cause redness and tearing. Call your doctor.
The baby is in pain. An open diaper pin or other object could be hurting the baby's skin. Take a close look everywhere, even each finger and toe (sometimes hair can get wrapped around a baby's tiny digits and cause pain).
If you have any questions about your newborn's ability to see or hear, you should bring them to your doctor's attention immediately. Even newborns can be tested using sophisticated equipment, if necessary. The sooner a potential problem is caught, the better it can be treated.

A North Carolina pastor says gays and lesbians should be rounded up and confined until they die. His sermon included anti-Obama remarks that could be a violation of the church's tax-exempt status.
I think what the Pastor meant is your spirit will be put to death
I am at times ashamed of my fellow Christians who think as this Pastor does and as that one Pastor that said that gays should die, be put to death. To me their mind set is no better then Al qaeda and the Taliban that is how they think...this is their mind set as well. This is a dangerous way of thinking...very wrong. God loves all his children and sent his son to teach us and to show love to all his children..he not only went to the faithful but went to ALL people... NOT to only a few , a selected group. He didnt say You SINNED so there for get away from me. But yet that is what a lot of Christians do today..and sad to say leaders of churches. Its like the blind leading the blind.
He couldn't "convince Congress"? What does that mean? Was he lobbying Congress? I
think North Carolina congressional delegation staff need to run a search for any emails from him or his church and preserve them. I'd like to know the content.
And what a "courageous" outspoken Man of God! He took his video down. Come on. Have the courage to stand behind your rhetoric and beliefs.
I wish I could be Anderson Cooper when I grow up.
As a Jew, I feel deep sorrow for thoughts of people as this man's. So many people use the mistranslated verse of Lev. to say homosexuality is an abomination but the actually verse says "Ve-et zachar lo tishcav mishkevei isha to'evah hi'.
Translated means 'A man shall not lie with another man as he would lie with a woman, it is a to'evah'. The word to'evah has been misunderstood and incorrectly translated to 'abomination' when it does not mean abomination at all. To'evah means basically 'foreign'. The term to'evah is used almost a hundred and three times in the Tanach (bible) in regards to foreign practices. This is why there is no Hebrew word for homosexual, homosexuality or gay (in the meaning of the latter). The acts of gay sex were foreign and believed to be apart of idol worship. I mean, how many times have you told your kids not to watch something on TV until you researched the show yourself and made sure it was okay for a child? But as time progressed, so did the laws. Homosexuality was seen as a work of Ha'Shem as was heterosexuality. There became a word for gay men and women in Hebrew. Judaism itself does not prohibit or in any way look down upon homosexual love. And in the eyes of Judaism the love between two men or two women can be as natural as the love between a man and a woman. Baruch Sh'mo for such progression. May hateful thoughts be shattered in our times and may peace and love consume us all.
What Word is he preaching? Who gave him his bible? Satan? Reverend Worely, you'd better let these people know that you were not speaking from Jesus' perspective. And don't go around telling people that God gave you a word. I know the Lord and those are not the sort of messages He sends. And if for some strange reason you beleive the Lord needs you to take His place, then there is really a problem. You simply are not the Judge and you went a long way out of place. Man, you have problems but if I were you, like I said in another comment, I'd apologize and blame that fiasco on dementia. I pray, for you sake, that you just had a Satanic moment and plan to get back to the Lord. Why do you want to destroy so many of God's children. You should know that no sin is bigger than another in the eyes of the Lord. Although I'm not gay, I've been a sinner all of life depending on God's love and mercy to save me, so I guess you'd better let me know when you get the fence up. Call me!
This Pastor is completely spewing hate.
Unbelievable! If he thinks there is a Hell...he is on his way there!
I know alot of people dont and Yes I agree that he might have made it sound bad but I think he was just trying to put the point across that the bible says its wrong and that gay people cannot reproduce showing that its not of the norm for the same sex to be together it was not what God had planned when he created Adam and Eve.. When he speaks on another topic he is probably just as hard on other sins.. I sin everyday and if he would get started on the things that I did I being a born again Christian would know he was right.. I might not like it but the Savoir above is the one in charge not us and I dont think it will be long till he sends his son to bring the ones who truely believes in him home...If it was normal all animals and other living beings would be doing the same thing you would think..Dont mean to make no one mad Im not the judge I will be judged and bow down to him just as everyone else..
there are gay animals so now what is your argue there are very well documented cases of gay animals!So then the bible is now meaningless if science can prove that being gay is natural RIGHT?
It baffles me that someone can be so resentful of others. I can understand a church not wanting to grant homosexuals the right to marry ONLY because marriage is a religious practice – putting every homosexual in an electrified fence to die goes well beyond that into blind hatred.
The bible is filled with archaic ideas of intolerance and irrational hatred. Why can't people just love one another regardless. If there is a god and he were to judge people on their behavior he would value love and tolerance not hateful and violent ideas.
I hope this man is never able to preach his vile hate speech again.
Anthony, it is human's who judge people on their behavior- God judges us by whether we believe Him- that He loves us enough to allow His Son to be born into human flesh, live a sinless life, die with the weight of all human sin – and at this sacrifice Father and Son are separated while the price for my sin is paid. Jesus' resurrection is the unity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit united in One Holiness.
God is judging us by whether we accept the loving gift He has given, or whether we feel we know better and wlll create our own gods, idols and terms of living. Jesus calls all to grow in His likeness, by turning away from self-serving consumptions that lead to hurt and sin, but also meaning I don't have to judge others as it is not my responsibility. I thank Him that I am loved, accepted, and given a life that I don't deserve- eternally. We are not only asked to believe IN God, but to believe His Word. This pastor's judgements are wrong because as by confessing the name of Jesus He should know we are not called to condemn people who don't know Christ, but as Jesus said, "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."
We seem to be looking at this matter in mans point of view. God loves all mankind and desires for their salvation, giving each their own choice how to live in this life that is "but a vapor". It is not mans place to eradicate sin, God is in control and all judgment is his when He comes again. God's Holy Word does not change and will stand forever. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Mankind however changes continually. In 1950, curse words were an abomination to air on TV. Today it is rampant with only the worst words bleeped out. See how mankind relaxes its morals as a whole. But God does not relax His purity, THANKS BE TO GOD. There is still something holy and sacred man can hold on to. Homosexuality is an abomination to God, period. But he loves the person and calls them to repentance. God loves you and His desire is towards you. Man cannot force man to love God or His ways. It is each mans choice and each man will either love the result of his choice in the after life of eternity or hate it for eternity as they suffer the consequences. The choice is yours, not a preacher or a journalists, or a president. You choose your destiny. May you choose rightly, your soul hangs in the balance for ever and ever without end.
Greatly said. Thank you for taking a stand on the word of God.
As a fellow believer in Jesus and His Word, I have no problem with a pro family theology and being outspoken in one's church about it. Free speech has to work for everyone or it works for no one. But this mans hate speech is unacceptable... What he says can lead to violence and that is crossing the line. I fully support a preacher calling sin SIN but not advocating violence directly or Indirectly.
It is hateful messages such as what this Preacher is saying that promote violence against gay & lesbian citizens. How someone who claims to be a Christian can issue such hate is beyond me, and I hold him responsible for promoting hate crimes against other. My hope is that his outrageous act will bring together people who will stand up against his hatred. In Matthew Shepard's memory, I urge people to stand up against this assault against our gay & Lesbian citizens.
I'm impressed with Anderson Cooper too. These views should be aired, and compared to sacred American ideals of equality and justice and protection. A book that was written thousands of years ago, and changed hundreds and hundreds of times to suit the political fortunes of the clergy of the Dark Ages should NOT be taken seriously, except as a valuable historical/anthropological document. This congregation (and others) are energized by hate and by a (facile) sense of identity gotten from a rigid set of rules that make the congregants feel superior. Superior to everyone, including Harvard Law graduates, legendary Supreme Court justices, and the greatest thinkers and statesmen of the modern era.
if your not on this mans wagon good luck to you i stand with this man all the way about time someone said it amen
Some people blindly follow leaders. Very frightening...the ignorance surfaced when the church member was questioned, and it didn't take too long for her true hateful nature to be exposed. She was a shining example of her congregation. Where's the love? Go Obama...I love you.
Romans 1: 24-32... yet we are to love all as Jesus did, proclaiming The Good News to everyone and praying that those who hear will become saved – Born-Again Christians. That Pastor is OFF TRACK and is obviously full of hate and bitterness. He needs to ask The Lord to forgive him and make his heart right – loving and obedient to God. It is unfortunate that his behaviour makes God's children look bad. He went beyond the line of "being zealous for Christ" to falling into Satan's trap...hatefullness and bitterness towards sinners who can still be saved...if they repent and surrender their lives to Jesus Christ – God's Son....THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN.
I absolutely agree with you! Wow.. this is absolutely outrageous!
Wow, just wow.
That may be true, [The] Rev F Lattimore. But tax exemption is not permitted for those preaching a political choice.
Anderson,what you should have asked the pastor and his female follower is that if they had a gay child,would they put them behind a metal fence.He doesnt deserve to be a pastor,God died for our sins and thats what he nneds to understand.
Should we repeat the sins Jesus died for
We just watched your Wednesday interview of a female member of this pastor's flock. I have no idea how you kept from laughing when she attempted to answer your questions. OMG.
As the gay son of a Southern Baptist Minster. My father would have never stood in the pulpit and trashed homosexuals. His message was that of love and compassion. There is a special place in hell for this man
As a Buddhist, I know we preach tolerance and compassion for people, but for people like this pastor. It makes you wonder why Christians and mostly Western Religions are so whacked out Nut cases and so hung up on Gays, when they should more concern about human beings. It's why Eastern Religions always wonder why Christians are so obsessed with what you do at home when they should be concerned about themselves.
The sad thing is that members of his congregation are actually listening to this crap and their prehistoric beliefs are being reinforced.
That electrified fence confinement might be just the place for this so-called minister…the perfect place for HIM to live until HE dies! Why is he SO obsessed with this subject? It sounds like he has some very serious issues to deal with…including a few personal unresolved issues I would imagine. I don't know what's worse…his hate or his sheer ignorance, but whatever it might be, he seems to be very proud of both. And how proud his town and the state of North Carolina must be, to have someone of his stature, of his compassion and respect for others, represent them and speak so "eloquently" in such a way that gives the rest of us an opportunity to, once again, use that old descriptive label: "just another stereotypical southern religious bigot"! Why IS this "label", this so-called "badge of honor" so worshiped and so coveted? It's almost as if it's required by some unspoken law! How sad…how truly, truly sad.
And, pastor, reverend, minister, cult leader, whatever, may you eventually understand that this kind of hate does NOT solve anything at all…it only makes things worse…unless, of course, THAT is your ultimate goal, which, if that's the case, you have more than adequately, surpassed yourself!
One last thing, Charles…may you, someday, find peace within yourself.
Dear Anderson,
I was appalled as a Catholic Christian as I heard the anti-gay, hate message from the North Carolina Pastor. I thought I would never hear that rheotric in my church. Until, last Sunday, May 20, 2012. I attended St. Benedict a traditional Catholic Latin Mass Church. I am African American family of 6 people. Father Neal Nichols used the words socialism, Obama adminstration, homosexual, and game on in his sermon. I was so appalled that I got up in the middle of the sermon and walked out. I was unable to return to take communion because my moral fiber was deeply offended. He referred to homosexuals as being stunted in their adolescent sexual growth and seeking pure pleasure of the body and unable to have emotional attachments or bonds with others. He referred to the Obama Adminstration as having a socialist agenda and undermining the separation of Church and State , in the past, he has attacked feminism as the downfall of society.
I thought as a Catholic Chrisitian, I would not hear remarks in my Sunday Mass. As a Black Woman, I realize that if you limit the freedom of one group of people for race, color, religion, or sexual orientation, it is a slippery slope for other groups.
I believe this is a violation of tax exempt status. Where do I go to report Father Neal and Byrd and their questionable sermons of hate and division.
I don't get why people get all hot and bothered by what gay people do. If hetero people don't like what they see, then look somewhere else. I am not a particularly religious person, but is there something in the Baptist water that makes them hate homosexuals so much? And I thought all the stuff Westboro Baptist Church spewed out was bad. This guy is nuts.
Do the people of pastor Worley's congregation (and the pastor himself) not realize that gay people.......ummmm.....COME FROM straight people?? I'm gay. My parents were......well,....OBVIOUSLY.....straight. Soo.....unfortunately, the pastors electric fence idea is not only hateful, offensive, and dangerous.....it's just a STUPID idea that wouldn't work to boot!? Should members of this congregation (who were yelling out support during the sermon) REALLY be taking life advice from someone not even smart enough to figure this out???? LOL Come on people....time to look for a smarter role model.
Precisely. It is heterosexual acts that produce homosexual human beings. His Hitleresque idea isn't going to work.
It isn't about faulty logic. It IS about HATE. They just didn't realize that it wasn't logical.
I hope you do not let this story die. As of 11:15pm Laura Tipton told me there were going to be close to 1,000 people from all over the country coming to the Maiden area to join the protest. They are looking at a different location due to size. It is time we put a stop to the hate and if Laura had not begun the fight I think this "Hate Monger" would have gotten away with it. Pam
HAHAHAHAHAHAH this guy is my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3>
I don't agree with the words the Pastor used but isn't there more urgent news to report? Many many Pastors are not infavor of the homosexual agenda. The large United Methodist denomination again voted last week to retain their doctrinal position of not allowing homosexual pastors, marriages, etc. Every Pastor would say "I wished I would have put it different." On the matter of tax exemption, the guest talking about filing a suit doesn't have a clue. So a Pastor says something someone doesn't like or something political your going to sue? How about Rev.Wright? How about all the Farakan mosques talking about "evil white people", how about all the inner city churches used for voting, for campaign meetings, for promoting Obama? The churches are not using their offering money, very little of their space, and not saying political things every sermon. There is no basis for a legal suit according to the church tax exemption law. The guest just likes to be in the camer lens. Pastors cannot be muzzled just because they might be republican or democrat or unitarian.
F. Lattimore
Andeerson you are the best. Help the world get rid of people who hate gay people.
If you ever run for public offic and I can vote I will vote for you for sure

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...If you are looking for something unusual to serve for breakfast or brunch, I think you'll love this recipe. These thin and savory pancakes are packed with flavor and take grandma's hoe cakes to another level. They are made with corn in several guises, but the real flavor boost comes from the roasted red pepper sauce that is served with them. The recipe is similar to the one that is used at the Wishbone Restaurant in Chicago. The hoe cakes are very simple to make and everything, except the addition of egg whites, can be done the day before you plan to serve them. This batter is probably thinner than most you have worked with, but it will make lovely little cakes. The instructions I have call for making pancakes that are two and one-half inches in diameter and I do do that when I'm not rushed. When time trumps intent, I opt for standard size pancakes. The red pepper sauce comes together in minutes and has the added advantage of being wonderful with plain grilled chicken. In case you're wondering why these are called hoe cakes, they got the name because they were originally cooked on the flat of a hoe over an open fire. Here's the recipe sans the hoe.
Uptown Hoe Cakes with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Hoe Cakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon + 1 pinch salt, divided use
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2-1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs, separated
1-1/2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup cream-style corn
2/3 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels, coarsely chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Pepper Sauce
1/2 cup dry white wine or white vermouth
3 shallots, minced
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
2 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and pureed or two whole roasted red peppers from a jar, drained, patted dry and pureed
1) To make sauce: Combine wine and shallots in a saucepan and reduce by half over medium-high heat. Add cream and cook until reduced by half. Lower heat to medium-low and whisk in butter a piece at a time, until it emulsifies. Whisk in pureed bell pepper. Keep sauce warm over very low heat. If it separates, it can be whisked together again.
2) To make the hoe cakes: Mix flour, corn meal, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. Place buttermilk, egg yolks, tabasco sauce and butter in a second bowl. Whisk to combine. Stir in creamed corn, corn kernels, green onions and bread crumbs. Add flour mixture and stir just to blend. Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.
3) Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour or spoon in batter to form cakes in 2-1/2 inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles form on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn cakes and cook until they spring back when touched, about 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as necessary. Keep warm in a low oven or serve immediately drizzled with some sauce. Yield: 32 hoe cakes.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's hardline Basij militia staged a demonstration outside Britain's embassy in Tehran on Sunday demanding that it be closed, Iranian state media reported.
The rally by the Basij, affiliated to Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, followed the brief detention of Britain's ambassador to Iran during protests after the Iranian military admitted to mistakenly bringing down a civilian airliner in Iran.

France, Germany to agree to NATO role against Islamic State - sources | Reuters
By Robin Emmott and John Irish | BRUSSELS/PARIS BRUSSELS/PARIS France and Germany will agree to a U.S. plan for NATO to take a bigger role in the fight against Islamic militants at a meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday, but insist the move is purely symbolic, four senior European diplomats said.The decision to allow the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to join the coalition against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq follows weeks of pressure on the two allies, who are wary of NATO confronting Russia in Syria and of alienating Arab countries who see NATO as pushing a pro-Western agenda."NATO as an institution will join the coalition," said one senior diplomat involved in the discussions.

China's Xi says navy should become world class | Reuters
BEIJING Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday called for greater efforts to make the country's navy a world class one, strong in operations on, below and above the surface, as it steps up its ability to project power far from its shores.China's navy has taken an increasingly prominent role in recent months, with a rising star admiral taking command, its first aircraft carrier sailing around self-ruled Taiwan and a new aircraft carrier launched last month.With President Donald Trump promising a US shipbuilding spree and unnerving Beijing with his unpredictable approach on hot button issues including Taiwan and the South and East China Seas, China is pushing to narrow the gap with the U.S. Navy.Inspecting navy headquarters, Xi said the navy should "aim for the top ranks in the world", the Defence Ministry said in a statement about his visit."Building a strong and modern navy is an important mark of a top ranking global military," the ministry paraphrased Xi as saying.

There is no special reason, I like Firefox and it served me well. I may as well move the other way around in the future. I needed some change, and had the use for a specific Chrome extension.
I currently work on four machines. One big iMac and a MacBook from work, a laptop and a netbook I own, both running on Ubuntu. Moving was the only solution as it is too difficult not to rely on browser automatism as I already have to adjust OS automatism across the machines.
I'm using quite a lot of userscripts that work right out of the box on Chrome
First thing I did was share the bookmarks with xmarks. I uploaded the most complete and satisfying set from my Ubuntu laptop Firefox and downloaded everywhere else. Xmarks works on most popular browsers.
I did not want to use LastPass, the online password facility, so I choose KeePassX. KeepassX encrypts the databases (it can use several which is convenient) securely enough for me and is cross platform. I share the databases across the computers with an USB stick I formated in HFS where both MacOS and Linux can read/write without hassle.
Now the real reason for the move: I've started to use Google Plus. At first it was just to have a look at this yet-another probably-deja-vu social network. Then I found myself using it way more than I had been using Facebook. I have been forwarding my work mail to a Gmail account for a long time (mailboxes are very small at work and get filled pretty fast) and I have had another account for my Linux stuff since they opened or so. Gmail is opened all day long, my Android phone is connected to both accounts, Google calendar is synced all across the machines. G+ got on me even before I knew it.
The real reason
The Chrome extension I'm using, Start Google + allows to feed G+ posts into Facebook and Twitter. I think it slows down quite a bit my browser experience, I may disable it at some point or look for another plugin. If I do that, you will be able to say "why stay with Chrome?"
Well, we'll see ;-)
I'm using the BetterPrivacy add-on to Firefox. Chrome can clear flash cookies without the need of an extension. Wrench > Tools > Under the Hood > Clear Browsing Data > Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data. All set!

Minn. forum set up to help ease vaccine shortages
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — In a bid to overcome flu-vaccine shortages in some areas, Minnesota officials have set up a forum to connect health care providers who have vaccine with those who don't.
The state Department of Health said Monday it's not actually facilitating the exchange of vaccine. Instead, officials are simply providing an online forum where health care entities can connect.
The health department says Minnesota continues to experience widespread flu activity. It says demand for vaccine is still high, but some health care providers have exhausted their supply and are looking for more.
There are several variations of flu vaccine, which differ by manufacture, intended age group and manner of dosage.
The forum is only intended for the exchange of privately purchased vaccine.

CNN's Randi Kaye tells the story of survivors who lived through the gunfire in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater.
Katie and Caleb Medley are high school sweethearts who had their first baby, Hugo, this morning. Both were caught in the attack. Katie and the baby were unharmed, but Caleb is still in a medically induced coma. To help them, go to Caleb's website http://calebmedley.com/help
Stephanie Davies helped save the life of her friend Allie Young who was shot in the neck. Stephanie didn't leave Allie to find safety, she stayed with her and applied pressure to her wound. Then, she carried her friend across two parking lots to an ambulance.
Petra Anderson was hit four times, with one bullet entering her brain. The 22-year-old was probably saved by a rare birth defect - a fluid-filled channel in her brain that maneuvered the bullet. Her family is struggling with paying for her medical bills along with those of her mother who is battling terminal breast cancer.

Filed under: Colorado Shooting
When something this horrible happens to innocent people why do they always have to think about how they are going to pay for this tragedy? I think they have enough obstacles to overcome with getting physically and mentally healthy that the individuals should not have to worry about money for awhile. I am not sure on the best way to solve the issue but feel it is unfair to place the burden on the individuals and the families.
Lauri Albert: You are so very correct and I completely agree with you! Money is the LAST thing these survivors should have to be worrying about in their recovery! But sadly, that is not the way things are in this country or world. I wish that it were! I hope and pray that anyone who can afford to will come forward to help all of these innocent victims to not have to worry about their medical bills. The insurance companies and Hospitals should do that as well! Thank you for your great comment!
I thought the local emergency room was FREE for anyone who could not afford to pay? This is the current Republican plan to solve the health care needs of Americans.
Capitalist..No they have to treat you even if you can't afford it, but two weeks later they are calling wanting their money.
Have been listening to victims now asking for donations to pay medical bills. I thought everyone was covered now. I am Canadian and these victims would not have to stoop to begging here. Still can't fathom why Americans find our health care a bad thing.
HUGO : hope under great obstacles
Kudos for Anderson Cooper for focusing on the victims in Aurora rather than the psycopath!! Not using his name on the air was a great tribute to those killed. I hope it is a small example to other news journalists.
Janice Manfredi (Cool name, BTW!): You are so right about dear Anderson Cooper! Thus far, he is the ONLY Journalist I have seen that is respecting the wishes of the survivors and setting a wonderful example by focusing his attention, support, love and care on the victims rather than the perpetrator! I think CNN is trying to follow his example to some degree, thanks to precious and sincere Anderson Cooper! One can tell in his interviews that he truly and actually does care, which is so rare in the media.
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

This is the girl's perspective of the poem The Coffee Shop by Jafar. I loved it so much, so I wrote this. You can read his poem by clicking on the link.
I'm the girl in the coffee shop
Writing about you, the boy
On the other side of
The glass door.
Rihanna is crooning in my ear
About how even if she reaches all her fingers
She can feel more than distance between them.
And that's how I feel
Looking at you
You spot me, and I quickly
Duck my head down, pretending
To doodle in my notebook.
I see you come and sit inside
Out of the corner of my eye
You think I don't notice you
But, I watch you everyday
When you're not looking.
It's been days now
My book is full of poems, about
The way the sunlight glints in your hair,
Turning it brown
And, the way you drum your fingers
On the table, impatiently
As you wait for your coffee.
-The Girl Lost In The Bookstore

Rosie O'Donnell
Personality Profile
Who is Rosie O'Donnell? She is an American comedian, actress, author, television personality, magazine editor, celebrity blogger, lesbian rights activist, television producer, and a collaborative partner in the LGBT family vacation company, R Family Vacations. She was born on Wednesday March 21st 1962, in Commack, New York, United States.
Rosie O'Donnell holds great compassion and seeks to be of service to others. She is a healer, and capable of giving comfort to those in need - she will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on. But actually, Rosie's mission in life is to develop the tools that allow her to be truly helpful to others rather than just a sympathetic ear. Rosie O'Donnell must find the balance between help and interference, and the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.
It is in O'Donnell's nature to take on responsibility, to fill the void left by others, and to not turn away from personal sacrifice, albeit at times, she may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon her is her well deserved reward.
Rosie seeks marriage and is often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children. However, she must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons, and to not let sentimentality influence her decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. Rosie O'Donnell needs to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those she can help and others who are made weaker by her care. After all, it is in Rosie's nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us. The temptation for O'Donnell is to think of herself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on her shoulders.
Rosie O'Donnell is blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts, and can be successful in a number of artistic fields - even when experiencing inability to fully recognize her own talents. She also has enormous talent in business, and her great deal of charm and charisma can be used effectively to attract the people and support she needs. More...
More flavors to Rosie's personality
Rosie O'Donnell is a person of thinking and planning.
Having well-developed business mindset, she is good at making effective plans, setting goals and working out the best way to achieve them.
She may also have excellent organisational and administrative skills, but that depends on how often she skips the details in order not to lose sight of the bigger picture.
It is natural for Rosie to think before she acts, to constantly plan the short- and long-term future, and to keep elaborate notes and diary with everything well planned and written down.
She also knows how to work effectively and efficiently with others in business, while maintaining self control and discipline, and teaching them to appreciate knowledge as the key ingredient to success.
If Rosie is over-organized, she should practice finding her way in disarrayed environment, or otherwise feel confused and in disarray herself.
But if she ignores the details in favor of the bigger picture, others might view O'Donnell as undisciplined with details, and not appreciate her great planning skills.
Rosie O'Donnell has a good memory, is highly intelligent, well balanced and with strong mental abilities. Her thinking process is logical, and her problem solving skills are outstanding.
While intellectual, creative and with good judgement, Rosie should avoid being impatient with others who are less gifted in the intellect and mental-strength department, or worst yet - looking down on them.
O'Donnell is more intellectual than emotional or practical and her quick analytical brain is capable of abstract thinking, so solves problems quickly and easily.
Intellect-driven that she is, it is important for Rosie to keep her brain stimulated and to challenge herself mentally throughout her life with ongoing learning and study, however - she might also glitch into mental laziness due to lack of interesting triggers in her career and workplace, or in the people that she surrounds herself with.
Tour Rosie's menu and gain more insight into her personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
We invite you to create your own free personality profile, in private and for your eyes only!.
March 23rd 2023 is best utilized by Rosie O'Donnell through involvement in decorating, gardening, or home-repair.
Today carries confusion in money matters, so Rosie should avoid business dealings, and get receipts and responsible estimates for all her other expenditures.

Police: Elderly man shoots wife at Carson-Tahoe hospital
Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — Jailers were keeping an 88-year-old man on a suicide watch after he was arrested for allegedly opening fire at a Carson City hospital and critically wounding his wife, authorities said.
William Dresser was arrested Sunday after firing one shot with small-caliber semi-automatic handgun that struck his wife in the chest at Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center, Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said. No other injuries were reported. The woman was a patient in a third-floor room when she was shot around 11:30 a.m.
The woman's injuries are considered life-threatening, and she was transferred to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno, Furlong said. Her name and age were not immediately released.
Dresser was booked into the Carson City Jail on suspicion of attempted murder and was on suicide watch, the sheriff said. His bail was set at $225,000, he said.
Dresser, who recently bought the gun, came to his wife's room in the rehabilitation ward, where she was alone, and shot her in the chest, Furlong said. No details of why she was admitted to the hospital were released, but officials don't suspect foul play.
Hospital security personnel and state Department of Corrections officials at the scene quickly detained the man until sheriff's deputies arrived.
The Carson City hospital issued a statement saying the shooting was "a targeted situation" that prompted a two-hour lockdown of the facility.
A woman who answered a phone call at a listing for a William Dresser in nearby Minden said she was too busy to talk Sunday afternoon.
Dresser has no known prior criminal history in the Carson City area, Furlong said.
The shooting comes about a month after a gunman walked into a medical facility next to the Reno hospital and killed one doctor and shot another before committing suicide.
Alan Oliver Frazier, 51, made it clear in a suicide note that he was targeting physicians at Urology Nevada in the Dec. 17 attack.
Frazier complained of pain and fatigue for years in an Internet chat room and to neighbors— symptoms he blamed on a botched vasectomy that the center disputes.

A classmate from my Transformative Learning and Technology Literacies class at San Jose State University sent me a LinkedIn connection request about a month ago prompting a total revamp of my oft-neglected and unfinished LinkedIn profile. I realized that my profile needed to be presentable if my classmates were going to be looking at it, and also because, oh right, I'm graduating soon (I mean, I hope!). And not to mention that part of the coursework for the above mentioned class includes creating our own Personal Learning Networks, or PLNs, which a LinkedIn account could be considered a part of.
So, of course, I said yes to the connection request, because it's a part of a class assignment, and it might be good for networking for future jobs and lifelong learning–but oh no my profile! I hadn't looked at my profile in a year, and never really completed it to begin with, and I doubt I'm alone in this predicament. As I became consumed with the task of making my profile presentable and exploring all the site's features, I got excited about the possibilities that LinkedIn could offer, but after investing a lot of time (time I could have spent on Facebook!) updating my profile, I began to question the usefulness of such professional-based social networking sites, particularly for MLIS students and job-seeking librarians.
LinkedIn seems to be well on its way to becoming as ubiquitous as Facebook, but with connections instead of friends, and the allure of potentially finding that amazing new job you've been dreaming of. According to LinkedIn, they had 150 million members worldwide as of February 2012, with college students and recent grads making up the fastest growing type of new member. There are more than one million professional networking groups on LinkedIn, including hundreds of library related groups. According to this infographic, 13.9% of LinkedIn members are in the "Information Technology and Service" industry, which sadly could just indicate that there are a lot of librarians looking for jobs. But are librarians finding good job leads on LinkedIn? Based on a recent search I conducted there are very few actual library related job postings listed on LinkedIn, and overall LinkedIn does seem more oriented to big business and the tech industry.
But if you're the type of person who reads this blog–you like to keep up with what's going on in libraryland; you probably spend a little too much time on the Internet; and you're desperate, or soon will be desperate, to find a job–it's likely that you're already on LinkedIn or will be soon, no matter if it's actually beneficial. So let's discuss what's good about LinkedIn beyond finding a job. LinkedIn offers a good way to manage all of your professional contacts in one easily accessible place for those times in the future when you might need a recommendation or reference. It's another way to keep up with what your classmates, colleagues, mentors, etc., are doing professionally, which can benefit your lifelong learning. And it's a great way to market yourself beyond the resume using LinkedIn's interactive profile features like adding web links to projects that you've worked on, or linking to your twitter account, personal website or blog. Like Facebook, LinkedIn allows you to share articles, videos, and even, status updates however, in most cases, what you share on LinkedIn should be relevant to the professional worlds that you're involved in.
There are lots of ways to integrate your personality into your LinkedIn profile, just do it thoughtfully, and don't forget the basics of managing your profile. This might take more effort than Facebook initially because your LinkedIn profile needs to be professional and polished, while at the same reflecting your personality to potential employers. And if LinkedIn is going to be beneficial to you, it's going to require a more strategic approach than the usual randomness of Facebook. For example, don't connect with everyone that you know on LinkedIn, but rather select the majority of your connections based on shared interests and goals. Interestingly, LinkedIn requires that you already have some sort of relationship with a potential connection or, at least, connections in common, so they've eliminated some of the randomness of online networking right there.
LinkedIn may not lead to a job, but then again it might. So, if you have a few extra hours, it probably wouldn't hurt to create a glamorous LinkedIn profile and see where it leads. You'll feel productive, at least! But remember, in the end, it's still about the connections that you make in the real world, so get out there!
What is your experience with LinkedIn? Useful or pointless? Or, is it possible, you actually found your job through LinkedIn?
